Signs a Shelby home needs a panel upgrade /

A fuse box or a 60- or 100-amp panel in an older home near Uptown
Breakers trip when the AC, dryer, and kitchen all run at once
Lights dim or flicker when big appliances start up
No open breaker spaces for a charger, hot tub, or addition
An insurance company or home inspector flagged your panel
You're planning a remodel, an EV charger, or workshop power

Plenty of panels around Uptown Shelby and the older neighborhoods nearby went in when a house had a few lights, a fridge, and a window fan. Central air, electric dryers, modern kitchens, and now EV chargers ask far more of that equipment. A modern 200-amp panel gives you breaker protection that actually protects, room to add circuits, and a service sized for how your family lives today.

What a 200-amp upgrade involves /

Most panel swaps are finished in a single day. Your power is off for part of that day while the old service comes out and the new one goes in safely — we'll tell you the plan before we start so you can arrange around it.

Permits and Duke Energy, handled /

A panel or service upgrade in Shelby needs an electrical permit and an inspection through Cleveland County, and the power company has to disconnect and reconnect your service at the meter while the work happens. Duke Energy serves Shelby, and we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with them and schedule the county inspection, so the job moves in the right order and your power is off for hours, not days.

This page is the Shelby edition of our panel upgrade service — same licensed & insured work and written quotes, with the Cleveland County details spelled out. Based in nearby Ellenboro, we're in Shelby regularly, and estimates are always free.

Common questions /

Do I need a permit to upgrade my panel in Shelby?Yes. Cleveland County requires an electrical permit and an inspection for a panel or service upgrade. We pull the permit, meet the inspector, and coordinate with Duke Energy for the meter disconnect and reconnect — you don't have to chase any of it.
How long will my power be off during the upgrade?For part of one day, while the old service comes out and the new one goes in safely. Most Shelby panel upgrades are finished the same day, and we'll tell you what to expect before we start so you can plan around it.
Should I replace my fuse box even if nothing seems wrong?Usually, yes. Fuse boxes belong to another era of electrical load, fuses and parts are getting scarce, and they leave you no room to add circuits. During a free estimate we look at what you actually have and tell you honestly whether it needs replacing now or can safely wait.
Can you upgrade my panel and add an EV charger circuit at the same time?Yes — that's one of the most common reasons Shelby homeowners upgrade. We size the new panel with the charger in mind and can install the charger's dedicated circuit in the same project, quoted in writing up front.
How much does a panel upgrade cost?It depends on your current service, where the panel sits, and whether the meter and service line need work too — that's why every job starts with a free estimate and a written quote up front, before any work begins.
